New Cell Phone Policy Begins with the 2026–2027 School Year

To create a curriculum-focused, distraction-free learning environment, all Douglas County high schools will become cell phone-free beginning with the 2026–2027 school year.

What This Means for Students: All high school students will be required to store personal electronic devices from 8:20 a.m. until 3:10 p.m. each school day.

Devices covered by this policy include:

* Cell phones
* Tablets and iPads
* Smart glasses
* Wireless earbuds and headphones
* Smartwatches

Students are expected to keep all personal electronic devices out of use during the school day. Devices should be stored in book bags, secured in vehicles, or managed according to the classroom teacher's established procedures.

Need to Contact Your Child During the School Day?

Parents and guardians who need to reach their child during school hours should contact the school’s main office. Families may also email their child’s teacher or contact the attendance office using the information available in Infinite Campus.

We appreciate the cooperation of our students and families as we work together to provide a focused learning environment where every student can succeed.

Track & Field State Champions 🏆

Lion Nation, we are beyond excited to share some AMAZING news from our Track & Field program!

Yesterday at the GHSA State Championships, our Lions made history and brought home a STATE TITLE! Freshman phenom Oluwatoyin Awoleye captured 1st Place in the GHSA 5A Girls 400 Meter Dash with an incredible new personal record of 53.78 seconds! Her blazing performance now ranks her among the Top 50 in the United States and Top 10 in Georgia. What an unbelievable accomplishment for one of our very own Lions!

We also want to celebrate our outstanding state qualifiers who proudly represented Lithia Springs High School against the best athletes in Georgia:

🏅 Leila Essex (12th Grade) placed 10th in the State in Girls High Jump with an impressive 5-0 mark.

🏅 Lee’Onni Tillman (10th Grade) placed 15th in the State in Girls Shot Put with a throw of 34-3.

🏅 Our Girls 4x400 Meter Relay Team battled hard and earned a 12th Place State finish with a time of 4:03.50.

These young women have demonstrated months of dedication, discipline, perseverance, and Lion Pride. Competing at the state level is a tremendous achievement, and they represented the Hunter Green and Cardinal Gold with excellence on one of the biggest stages in Georgia high school athletics.
